I've done tests with a P3A for flying instruments aloft to measure air quality and detect thermal inversions. Attached is a small spreadsheet showing my results. Ask if you need clarification.
Bottom line - I found a payload of 480 grams / 17 ounces could be carried easily, even in light wind, and (under a 107 waiver) up to 700 feet with plenty of battery reserve for getting back down. Although I could lift a 21 ounce payload off the ground I deemed it not safe.
Yes works good,either tilt back and slides off or drag on fishing reel and comes off while still moving forwardHi ianzon, that homemade contraption looks great. Centered enough to balance and carry payload without interfering with camera. Lightweight and strong enough to carry a good load. Does the load come off easy?
